Rick Mather discusses the transformation of the Ashmolean Museum

In a city renowned for its heritage, Rick Mather presents the merging of old and new architecture in the heart of Oxford. Rick will discuss the past, present and future architecture of the UK's first public museum, from the original designs by Cockerell through to the practice's extensive new £61 million scheme which will transform the Ashmolean into a 21st century museum. Rick will also offer a brief review of the practice's other Oxford projects for Keble, Corpus Christi and The Queen's Colleges.
